In the first weeks of January the construction on the first two buildings on The Shelter property began with the large Multi Purpose building and House 1. Our contractor has been able to work on both buildings at the same time with a crew for each. This time of year here there is no rain (or very little) so the construction crew has been able to make great progress on both buildings. We thought you would be interested in seeing the progress.

Multi Purpose Building

House 1

Getting concrete 8 feet in the air

Its simple.

Mix concrete on the ground

Fill bottom of 20 liter plastic bottle

Hand to guy on ladder

Hand to guy on top of concrete form

Pour concrete into form

Drop plastic bottle

Repeat

So what's next?

Even at the current pace it will take a few more months to complete the construction of these two buildings. In the meantime, the Director's of The Shelter, Caleb and Eunice Otieno, Rick and Ann Smith from Oasis for Orphan's Kenya, and ourselves have begun working on getting the operational side of the project ready. Lots to still complete before we can start bringing in the orphaned children!!

Please consider a monthly donation to our Ministry

We are able to be here building The Shelter through the generous support of our family of financial supporters. Oasis for Orphan's raises funds to support the holistic development of the children in their program and to build and maintain their facilities. We therefore must raise our own support to be able to assist Oasis in getting The Shelter ready for the children. Please prayerfully consider joining our financial support family with a monthly donation. Go to our Donate Now page for further instructions. Make sure to specify Ruzga Family Ministry whether you choose to donate online or by check.
